myIBS support programme has been very interesting. The information it provided has helped me understand my condition a lot more. It was helpful and gave me confidence to talk to friends about it. Due to COVID I have been unable to see a GP but I will be going back over the programme to get the info I need to speak to the GP about my condition. Thank you.

The programme covered every aspect of IBS. There were facts and tips about living with it, most I was surprised to find I didn’t know. Also new research has meant I understand more thoroughly how the condition works and how to manage it better.

The myibs support programme helped me a great deal. It helps you to understand IBS a lot better and it also helps to find what triggers it. The support you get is first class. They help a great deal. Also others who are the same can help one another and share diffent things with each other which is fine many thanks.
